They asked ques- tions to discover the types of articles customers pre- ferred and where they bought them. The group compiled the results and presented them to the businessmen in the form of a brochure. In keeping with the Christmas tradition of giving, the club adopted' ’ two families. They supplied the fami- lies with money, clothes, food, and many gifts tor the children. The DE Club competed in district, state, and national contests. This year in district competition it placed in every contest. Ivan Perkinson, George Wythe DE president, was also elected state president, won a four-year scholarship to Richmond Professional Institute from a local company.

64 Red Cross Fifteen Receive Emblems As New Hospital Workers Through countless hours of voluntary service, and through unselfish dedication to community and school, the Junior Red Cross launched a fall enroll- ment drive to raise funds for the local chapter. Now in its hundredth year, the newly raised funds will be used to expand a now far-reaching program to a new glove-stretching one. Working diligently for five months, students of Mrs. Jerri Sutton's Senior Government class pre- pared a special scrapbook of George Wythe activ- ities to be sent by the Red Cross to Norway. Be- sides volunteer service as ''teen aiders'’ at McGuire Hospital, members of the Junior Red Cross re- ceived training in mass feedings and disaster team- work at Fort Lee. To conclude the year, fifteen members of the organization received their voluntary service pins. Mary McKendrick receives her pin for outstanding volun- tary service as a teen aider from Mrs. C. Foster at the final meeting of the Junior Red Cross during the school year. ' 7 Lm) i Ee mr Front Row: Miss Gay, sponsor, Diane Dickson, secretary, Mary McKendrick, president, Mrs. Foster, sponsor.

Chess Team: David Hamill, John Virkler, Robbin Church, Jimmy Hunt, Robert Yevich, Gary Thorne, Tommy Dodd. Inset: Mr. Richard Bell, Sponsor. Chess Team Central District Upset Upgrades Novice Team The George Wythe Chess team compiled, for the second consecutive year, a highly admirable win- ning season of 9 wins, 2 losses, and | stalemate. Led by Captain Tommy Dodd and promising freshman J. P. Lund, the comparatively new team finished second in the Central District, which is composed of seven firmly established chess teams. In the post- season district tournament, Lund and Dodd finished fourth and fifth respectively, out of a field of four- teen of the area's top chess players. Highlighting its successtul year, the team, under the competent guidance of Mr. Richard Bell, handed leaque-lead- ing Thomas Dale its first defeat in two years. With Dodd being the only senior on the chess team, the remaining nine experienced undergraduates will now have the challenging task of capturing the coveted district championship. Organization In practice round held at sponsor Richard Bell's home, Team Leader J. P. Lund is challenged by ace Marvin Winfree. “agg 44444 ee
